Thanks for trying it out :)
Btw, what were the parts being sluggish? Text input? Everything?
Could you also tell what OS and hardware you ran it on?
I'll try to fix performance in a later release (after coding the main
features)

Sure!
Here's an image viewer (beware, if an image is larger
than max OpenGL texture size (usually 2048x2048 or more),
it won't show it):


files = Dir["*.*"].grep(/\.(jpg|png)$/i)
require 'glimr'
include GlimR

sc = ScrollableContainer.new(
  :content => Image.load(files.first))

sc.container.on_click{|o,e|
  case e.button
  when :left
    files.push files.shift
    sc.content.load(files.first)
  when :right
    files.unshift files.pop
    sc.content.load(files.first)
  end
}

w = GLUTWindow.new
w.attach sc
w.run


That one had bad performance on Windows,
on Linux it's a lot smoother for some reason.

I put the integration_tests sample code online at
http://glimr.rubyforge.org/samples/
